My newborn is EBF, and takes one really, really big poop a day. It takes him about 5 minutes to do it. He does have a lot of gas during the day and sometimes he gets a little fussy because he needs to go. He will be 3 weeks tomorrow, was born at 9 lbs 3 oz, and is already over 10 pounds. Weight gain is fine and he has a pee diaper almost every hour. I'm assuming he's fine... just wondering if anyone else has had this experience?

Ebf babies have a very wide range of normal. Some poop every time they nurse. Others poop once every 5 days. Anywhere inbetween is normal. This can also change as baby grows. During the first couple months my youngest pooped 15x a day. He gradually slowed to every 3 days. Now he is 20 months old and on solids but nurse a lot still. He poops once daily.

Perfectly stated. My son is 4 weeks right now and he really only goes once a day, usually in the evening towards nighttime. Of course there are little smears occasionally in his diapers throughout the day but nothing like his once an evening diaper.
